We know by now there is, unfortunately, no Fountain of Youth, but that doesn’t mean you can’t expand your life expectancy. A new medical study is suggesting that watching cat videos can help you live a healthier, longer life. Strong immune system, better cardio health and a defense against common allergies are just some of the health benefits. Dr. Kirtly Parker Jones walks you through the study and talks about why watching cat videos is good for your health.

One in 20 women will have some kind of uterine abnormality. Most won’t realize they have the condition until there are complications with a pregnancy. On this episode of “The Seven Domains of Women’s Health,” Dr. Kirtly Jones speaks about uterine anomalies: What they are, how they impact women, and available options for treating and living with uterine abnormalities.

One in 5,000 women is born without a uterus—a condition called MRKH syndrome—making it impossible to carry a child. This is usually diagnosed during the adolescent years, and Dr. Kirtly Parker Jones says the first sign she looks for is the lack of a period. In this episode, Dr. Jones talks about the different pregnancy options available for a woman born with MRKH, including the new uterine transplant procedure.

It’s not something most pregnant women want to plan for when preparing for their new baby to be born: complications. Knowing what to expect when a complication occurs is crucial to a safe labor and delivery for both mom and baby. Janet Fisher, labor and delivery nurse educator, talks to Dr. Kirtly Jones about the conversations every pregnant woman should have with her clinician before the due date, and how to be flexible when not all goes according to plan.

Bacteria help build babies' immune systems. During a natural birth, the passage through the birth canal allows mom’s bacteria to colonize the baby. But what about babies born by cesarean section? Data suggest C-section babies may have more autoimmune diseases such as asthma and type 1 diabetes. So should C-section babies be gauzed with mom’s vaginal bacteria during the first few minutes of life? Dr. Kirtly Jones talks about this hot topic for moms-to-be and whether or not she thinks vaginal microbial transfer should be on the list of concerns going into labor.

One thing a mother-to-be should never have to worry about is a dangerous cancer growing inside her at the same time as a (hopefully) healthy new fetus. Luckily, cancer during pregnancy is uncommon, occurring in only about 1 out of 1,000 pregnancies. But even with those slim chances, you don’t want to take the risks. In this episode, Dr. Kirtly Jones talks about the cancers that are most common in pregnant women, as well as which ones are caused by pregnancy itself. And for women who are pregnant with cancer, Dr. Jones talks about options to care for the baby while treating the cancer.

Many women struggle with Valentine’s Day expectations: if he loved me, he’d know what I wanted; if he doesn’t do something big, he doesn’t care; surprises are more romantic. If this sounds familiar, Dr. Kirtly Parker Jones has advice on how to better approach it to set your partner up to succeed and you to have the Valentine’s Day you want.

Diet enthusiasts talk and blog about it all the time—the Mediterranean diet. It can be difficult to follow, but it’s one of the better-known diets for a healthy heart. Medical director of Preventive Cardiology and Cardiac Rehabilitation Dr. Lillian Khor talks with Dr. Kirtly Jones about why the Mediterranean diet is best to prevent heart disease and how to fit it into your and your family’s lifestyle.

The Zika virus has a possible link to birth defects, specifically, microcephaly, when pregnant women are infected. Microcephaly is a rare condition in which babies are born with very small brains, blindness and deafness. This virus is spread rapidly by mosquito bites. We don’t have a vaccine or treatment for it. Luckily, though, for those living in colder areas, the type of mosquito that spreads the virus prefers warm and humid environments like Africa, Asia and Central America. Dr. Kirtly Jones recaps what we know and don’t know about the Zika virus, including possible symptoms and your chances of getting it.
